For now, we will answer why computers use the binary (“base 2”) number system and why electronic devices store binary numbers. This will help to explain why binary numbers are so important. The very first computers used binary numbers, and they are still used today. ...
So Why Do Computers Use Binary? But Why Only Base 2? Computers don't understand words or numbers the way humans do. Modern software allows the end user to ignore this, but at the lowest levels of your computer, everything is represented by a binary electrical signal that registers in one...
Why Computers use Binary The ignition switch of an automobile isdiscrete—it has definite states—but there are usually more than two states (off, running, start, acc...) A button on a hand calculator is a binary device. It is either on or off. Ordinarily it is "off." When you push...
Why do digital computers use binary numbers for their operation? Convert the following to the number system indicated: a. 111.1012 to decimal. b. 14.687510 to binary. What is the difference between a number system such as binary, and a coded system...

If computers worked entirely in binary (and some did a long time ago), and did nothing but calculations with binary numbers, there would be no bytes. But to use and manipulate character information we must have encodings for those symbols. And much of this was already known from punch card...
In the early days of software, there was only binary code (0 or 1), and very few people could deal with them (how many of you have ever written a program in hex? I have). The very early days were probably very agile (one guy knew what to do and was the same person that coded...
Why do computers use zeros and ones? How to define a constant variable in Java? Why is digital better than analog for transmitting data? What are the 3 Vs of big data? Why is a bitmap index used in data warehousing? When do you have overflow in binary?
